All the Doings ’round Here

We’ve had a busy summer here at Stave and it looks like we’re going to maintain that trend right through the end of fall and into winter. Winter! Where did that come from? We had a fun little snow shower last week and another on Saturday and that was just a taste of what’s to come. The Farmer’s Almanac is forecasting a lot of snow for us this year. I guess if it’s winter in VT we might as well have snow.

More Summer Fun

Steve and Martha were honored to spend an August afternoon with President and Mrs. Bush on Walker’s Point in Maine. They enjoyed a delicious lobster souffle luncheon and lively conversation. Mrs. Bush is as lovely as ever and sharp as a tack! As you can see from the photo above, President Bush’s hair is growing back after shaving his head to show support for the two-year-old son of a member of his Secret Service detail who is battling leukemia. Now that’s cool!

Look Who’s Here!

We ’re very proud to introduce our latest Stave team member. Easton Meyer arrived on August 16th coming in at 6 lbs. 10oz. He’s been coming to work with his mom, Jesse, for a few weeks now and boy, do we love it! Easton’s got a full head of wild hair and a smile that will melt your heart. We’re going to keep him around as long as Jesse will let us.
